Monday Message 12/8

Good Morning Lowell Families,

Most of you have probably heard the news that Ms. Kaplan's leave has been extended until the end of the school year.  I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to continue working at the Lowell School for the rest of the year.  It has been a wonderful experience for me getting to know the many different aspects of the Lowell School community.  I am looking forward to continuing my work with students, teachers and parents.

It will be a very busy week at the Lowell School with early release days, conferences, the book fair and finally Winter Wonderland.  Parent conferences are an important opportunity for teachers and parents to come together and share information about students.  Report cards will be handed out at conferences.  Conferences are scheduled one after another.  Please be on time and respect the limits of your appointment time.
